Upon arrival of the Spanish forces in Mexico in 1519, about 1,000 known Aztec Temples of Human Sacrifice were discovered scattered across Mexico. The Spanish military forces were astonished at the high level of Aztec civilization, upon landing at Sacrificio Island at the port of Vera Cruz and moving inland towards Tenochtitlan (renamed Mexico City after the Spanish conquest) and beyond. Glittering cities were discovered, with magnificent public buildings, teeming commercial markets, and a material civilization that seemed to rival that of Spain itself. However, the Spanish were horrified to discover that this same Aztec culture of towns and cities with about ten million inhabitants, were built around a stone pyramid-shaped temple dedicated to pagan religious ceremonies that centered on the daily mass killings of thousands of innocent human beings. The Aztecs felt the need to placate their pagan gods in atonement for physical calamities such as earthquakes or pestilence, by offering human blood sacrifices to their mightiest god Quetzelcoatl, the feathered or stone serpent. These temples of human sacrifice, and an integrated commercial order, supported by taxes, controlled by a military, and directed the interchange of trade and commerce, supported by an advanced judicial system, bears a striking resemblance to that existing in the devolved contemporary post-Christian social order of many countries today: in the deceptive form of state sponsored support and funding of the killing of unborn children. It is supported through the veiled language of the term abortion of a 'fetus,' not a baby (fetus is actually a Latin term meaning 'little one') and a woman's 'right to chose.' Choosing life or death.
The daily killings in Pre-Christian Mexico, like those in abortion mills, were on a large scale, estimated by historians as numbering in the thousands. This is similar to the some 4,000 innocent unborn children that are sadly being put to death in America's abortion clinics today. The Aztec ritual sacrifice, envisioned in the recent movie Apocalypto, directed by Mel Gibson, depicted this ritual sacrifice, where victims were laid out across a stone altar, held down, and beating heart gouged out, by an Aztec priest wielding a sharp obsidian knife, then lifted up as an offering in blood atonement to their pagan gods. This process took only a few seconds, was offered over and over daily, at temples of human sacrifice all over Aztec Mexico. As many as 20,000 victims were sacrificed in one day at the dedication of a single temple. So today, the abortionist, wielding the sharpened knife or the suction tube, or by prescribing abortion pills, continues to carry out this terrible creed in apocalyptic proportions, destroying upwards of 75% of the unborn children in the former communist countries of the ex-Soviet Union and China, some 50% of the unborn children in European Union and about 25% of the unborn children in the United States. This internal culture of death led to the collapse of the Aztec Empire and with it, the monumental task of transforming the centuries-old Aztec culture of death into a Catholic culture of life. Spanish soldiers under the command of Captain Hernando Cortez, whose Ship's masts and soldiers' helmets bore the black cross of salvation, destroyed many pagan temples and replaced them with Catholic churches. In the wake of the Spanish military conquest, thousands of missionaries and Franciscan priests sought to instruct the Indians in the knowledge of the true faith, opening many schools and hospitals. They laid the foundation for the first university, the College of the Holy Cross near Mexico City, which is today the largest in the world with some 90,000 students. That first Evangelization of the New World, fueled with the promises of New Life through the miraculous intervention of Our Lady of Guadalupe to Saint Juan Diego between December 9th and December 12th, 1531, generated a superabundant harvest of some 9 million converts to Christianity over a period of 9 nine years. With this came a miraculous end to human sacrifice in Mexico. (See complete story in book entitled The Wonder of Guadalupe, by Francis Johnson.) Likewise today, this domestic war on terrorism in the womb, IS BEING WON...one clinic, one heart, one life, one family, one election, and one US Supreme court decision at time. It is all possible through your prayer and action through the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe and Jesus of Divine Mercy in the missionary service of the New Evangelization! In the past there have been over 2,000 abortion mills, or Death Camps for the unborn, that were recorded in the United States. There are now only 741! Abortionists are aging rapidly and many have converted over to the culture of Life, working with pro-life organizations such as the Centurions - a supportive group of men and women in the medical and allied professions who have given up the practice of abortion. In the state of Alabama, there are no known physicians living in the state that will publicly practice abortion. In the great state of Mississippi, 7 out of 8 abortion mills have closed in recent years. The lone abortion mill, or temple of human sacrifice, stands in Jackson, Mississippi, under the name of "Planned Parenthood," unfortunately protected under US law and funded by US taxpayers. We must persevere in our prayers to God through Mary, Mother of Divine Mercy, so that, in the end, we will be delivered from this scourge of abortion, godless secularism and Islamic terrorism, in hope that we will be forgiven for any time we did not do anything to try to end abortion and other atrocities. We should unite our heart to the Heart of Jesus to mourn for our brothers and sisters who have been killed and lost in the womb. For it is a mourning of the heart that leads to a desire to change attitudes and actions. It is in our repentance that we can then receive the forgiveness from God. "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." Matthew 5:7 |
